I've spotted this rather nice vase on Ebay, but for once I'm a bit stumped as to it's age.
It's unusual-looking inclusions of swirling threads remind me a bit of Peloton glass (especially these pastel colours) but Peloton is an applied decoration on the surface of an item, whereas these threads or cane pieces are cased under a clear layer. Which makes me think maybe it's more recent, even 20th C. Murano or a studio piece.
It looks Victorian, & apparently it does have some wear to the base. But I'm not sure if it's old or not as I've not seen one quite like before.
Does anyone recognise it, & if so, any opinions on age, origin, etc, would be appreciated!
Thanks!
